A batten is a strip of material, traditionally wood, though it can also be made from other materials like aluminium, commonly used in construction and shipbuilding (hence the phrase ‘batten down the hatches’). When used together in a series, timber battens create a linear effect that adds texture, depth, and rhythm to a facade or interior. Timber battens can be custom cut and crafted or installed as part of a prefabricated, modular system. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, they enhance privacy, control sunlight and light, improve visibility and acoustics, all while adding significant style.
Accoya battens are extremely durable, offering performance characteristics comparable to or exceeding those of the most durable tropical hardwoods. It is resistant to rot, decay, and insect attacks, and comes with a 50-year above-ground and 25-year in-ground or freshwater contact warranty.
Accoya battens require minimal maintenance due to its exceptional stability and durability. It holds coatings and finishes well, meaning less frequent reapplications are needed. Periodic cleaning and inspection are recommended to keep it in optimal condition.
Yes, Accoya battens can be painted or stained. Its high stability means that coatings last longer and adhere better than on other types of timber, resulting in reduced maintenance. It can also be left to weather naturally to a silver-grey patina and if you’re after that look, why not choose the Grey Accoya!
Timber battens are typically installed using a simple mounting system that secures them to a substrate, such as a wall or ceiling framework. They can be spaced apart according to design needs, with the spacing impacting both the visual effect and functional properties, such as privacy and light control. Installation methods may vary depending on whether the battens are used indoors or outdoors, and whether they are fixed or movable.
